This picture was taken on Saturday, February 17th on
Mount Hood at Illumination saddle looking into the snow cave where the eight
climbers and Velvet spent the night. The photo was just before the
infamous bad weather came in. The next day, just before Noon as the eight
headed down the mountain, Matty, Velvet, Kate and Christina fell 300-400
feet, and had to spend the night in extremely windy and life-threatening
conditions before they were saved by rescuers the following day. Jason Guppy
